A/N Thanks to you all for your wonderful comments. I appreciate them.
I hope you all enjoy this chapter! Again I do not own the characters of Gilligan's Island.
If I owned them there would have been no doubt, The Professor=Ginger's Man. Gilligan=Mary Ann's Man.
"Everybody." The Skipper said coming out to camp. "Everybody listen up. I just got the latest weather report."
Everyone gathered around to listen.
"There is a small storm in the Pacific however it is expected to pull away in a short period of time…we should be good to set sail in three days."
"Three days?" asked Mary Ann.
"Yes. Three days. I want to take a little extra time to make sure it is fully out of our area." explained the Skipper.
"So in three days…we can head for Hawaii!" squealed Ginger.
All but you. Eva thought. Three days. Three days to get Ginger out of the picture and step in to take her place.
The castaways were excited about being able to leave the island soon. They all ended to their huts to pack up their belongings. The Skipper advised them that there is only so much they can take and to make sure to take nothing they do not absolutely need and can be easily be purchased again when they get back home.
Professor and Ginger's Hut
Ginger packed up her make-up case. She picked up a perfume bottle and smiled as she looked over at the Professor who was packing his bag. An old memory surfaced in her mind that involved this very perfume. She smiled and placed the bottle down.
Ginger sauntered over to her love. "You..want to sniff my perfume…" She asked in his ear.
The Professor gulped recalling the time he pulled her into his arms intoxicated by the exotic floral scent.
He was certain at the time she had believed he had lost his mind.
"I still keep it behind my ears…" She whispered to him.
"Umm..I…Ginger…I…well…."
"You know I can read your mind…" She asked kissing his ear.
He swallowed as the memory of when Ginger and Gilligan had eaten some seeds causing them to be able to read the minds of their fellow castaways. He didn't believe it was true but when she said he was thinking 36-22-36 (which he didn't admit at the time was accurate)..he was sure she knew of his secret attraction to her. He tried to cover and say it was something else but Ginger seemed to know better with the look she gave him when she announced his thoughts and so did Gilligan who called him out on it.
"My dear if you could read my mind…you would now I'm thinking you should get back to packing." He said gently pushing her away.
Ginger smiled not deterred at all. She placed her arms around him purring in his ear again. "Tell me…did you ever try to read my mind when you ate those seeds…"
The Professor stood there silent. He wasn't about to tell her he had tried to see if she was thinking about how she loved him and was attracted to him. Not a chance. "Of course not." He lied trying to get back to his packing.
"I think you did." She said in her breathy voice. "You remember when Gilligan said I was thinking of Gregory Peck and Rock Hudson?"
"Yes." The Professor said feeling hot all of a sudden.
"Well he was partly right. I was trying to think of who you reminded me more of…Rock Hudson or Gregory Peck."
"And?" asked The Professor turning his head towards her intrigued to hear the answer.
"Nothing." Ginger replied dropping her arms. "That's all I was thinking."
She casually went back to her packing. The Professor stood there watching her. Ginger glanced over at him. "I thought you were packing." She said.
He was helpless to reply. She was the one who came over to him trying (and succeeding) to entice him and then walks away and just goes back to what she was doing as if nothing occurred. The Professor pulled at the collar of his shirt trying to get his pulse and heartbeat back to normal as he went back to his task but his eyes went back to the sultry red headed temptress.
Outside the Hut
Eva looked to make sure no one else was around before she went up to the hut and peaked inside the window.
She frowned at what she was witnessing. The Professor had his arms around Ginger kissing her neck saying something that she couldn't figure out. The new redhead noticed the two unpacked bags on the bed. Apparently Ginger must have distracted the Professor as usual. It sickened her. What a tramp. Eva thought to herself.
The woman simply could not control her disgusting sexual urges. Always pawing at the Professor and well acting like a common harlot. The fact that the Professor never once objected to Ginger's advances didn't enter Eva's mind. In her mind, Ginger was nothing but a tramp with uncontrollable sexual urges. Eva grimaced as she then saw Ginger leading the Professor to the bed pushing the bags off and pulling him down. She shook her head and left the window.
Spotting the hut of Mary Ann, she peeked in.
"Gilligan this is so exciting. We are finally going to get off this island!"
"I can't wait!" exclaimed Gilligan. "We get to see our friends and family again!"
Mary Ann smiled at him. "Even Skinny Mulligan?"
"Yeah even him. You would like him Mary Ann. He's fun to hang out with."
Mary Ann put her packing aside and put her arms around Gilligan. "I think you are fun to hang out with." She said.
Gilligan looked down at her. "Um.." He said.
"Don't you think I'm fun to hang out with?"
"Sure." Gilligan's voice cracked. He cleared it. "Sure you are."
Mary Ann reached up kissing his lips. She then let go. "I love you."
"I love you too Mary Ann."
Eva rolled her eyes. What a sickening sweet pair! She could go into sugar shock listening to these two! What on Earth could Gilligan see in this goody two shoes? He was a sailor for crying out loud. He had to want a woman with more flare than this Plain Jane. Well she needed to put her plan into action. First thing was getting Ginger out of the picture. As soon as the little hussy was done doing what she was doing with the Professor, she would spring. Until then maybe she could put a move on Gilligan to get his attention.
Gilligan emerged from Mary Ann's hut and Eva smiled. Perfect timing. She walked up behind him practicing her Ginger voice. "Hello Gilligan."
He turned. "Oh Hi Ginger."
Oh this is perfect! He thinks I'm Ginger. Eva thought.
"What are you up to?" She asked.
"Just getting ready to head back home. Aren't you excited?"
"I am." "Ginger" replied. "I am looking forward to being back in Hollywood."
"And with the Professor." Gilligan said with his goofy smile.
"Ginger" shrugged. "I suppose." She sighed sitting on a rock.
Gilligan sat beside her. "What do you mean? I thought you loved him?"
"Oh I do it's just…well…sometimes I wonder…Do we really make the perfect match? Should I be with someone else?"
Gilligan was stunned. "Someone else?"
"Yes…You see Gilligan…" "Ginger" continued. "I…I know there has always been something between you and I…"
"There has?" Gilligan said bewildered.
"Of course." "Ginger" stated. "Don't you feel it too?"
"Ginger…I…You always…The Professor…You mean to tell me you…"
"I'm not saying I don't adore the Professor…I do…but…I don't know…there is just something about you…an adorable mighty sailorman…Just does something to me…"
"It does." He said his eyes wide.
"Yes…Gilligan…I…I want to kiss you…"
"Kiss me? Ginger…you can't…we can't!" He stood up and ran off.
Eva smiled to herself. This was even better than she thought.
Lagoon
Gilligan hurried out to the beach thinking about what had just happened. It didn't make sense. Ginger was in love with the Professor. She didn't love him. She wouldn't want to kiss him. Ever since Ginger got together with the Professor she hadn't once tried any of her usual seduction moves on anyone but the Professor. The only lips hers touched belong to the Professor. Why would all of a sudden Ginger…And she knew that Mary Ann and him were… Ginger wouldn't do that to Mary Ann. They were best friends. She loved Mary Ann like a sister! Mary Ann told him Ginger was happy for them. She thought their relationship was great. Was Ginger lying? She couldn't be. Ginger wouldn't lie.
Just then "Ginger" appeared in what looked like a remorseful state. She slowly walked over to him.
"Gilligan." She started. "I want to say…I'm sorry…I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable…I'm sorry."
Gilligan looked at her. "Ginger I don't understand. You love the Professor. Why would you…"
"Ginger" sat on a rock. "I don't know…I guess I'm just feeling a little insecure…He's so brilliant and I'm….I'm a movie star…I don't really understand all that scientific stuff he talks about. I sometimes just think we are mismatched. And you and I….I don't know…I thought that maybe you liked me."
"I do like you." Gilligan said sitting next to her. "But not that way. I like you to be my friend."
"I understand. And I am sorry…Please…don't say anything….I don't want…"
"I won't. I promise. But you don't need to be insecure Ginger. The Professor loves you."
"Ginger" nodded and smiled.
Gilligan got up from the rock and headed back off to camp.
Eva grinned to herself. A seed was planted. She was certain Gilligan would think about what she said to him and his curiosity would be piqued. She was not worried about him telling Mary Ann anything. He would keep his silence. After all, she told him she was sorry and that she was just insecure. He seemed to believe that. Now that that task was done….she had to get rid of Ginger. Maybe after dinner, she could get Ginger alone and knock her out. She would drag her to one of the caves and keep her captive there. After that, she would work on the Professor. Make him appreciate a whole new Ginger who was more lady like and refined. She did have to work on the story of what had become of Eva, but she would think of something. Right now she had other things at hand. Making the two men fight for her hand. And she would succeed. One way or another…she would be the object of both their desires.
